It's a well known term for when software and features are included for most common use cases and common users. Like when a Linux distro includes office and productivity suites pre-installed, or a code editor has several plugins bundled in. Not all users want that stuff pre-installed but enough do to merit these "batteries included" downloads and the term came up as a way to let you know who the intended users of the product are.
